Clean code is dead

If you're still obsessed with writing "clean code" in 2025 then you are living in the stone age.

The clean code era is over. AI is here.

Your precious descriptive variable names,

Your admirable small functions,

Your meticulous design patterns and tireless refactorings…

All these things are far far less important now in the age of AI.

I can't even remember the last time I created a variable by myself.

Wrote a function from scratch by myself?

Even created a file by myself? (super rare)

Nobody codes like that anymore (sorry).

AI is here and modern developers don't code that way.

Lol, you people and your annoying AI hype. Vibe coding is useless and AI can never replace programmers in any way. Stop talking nonsense.

Ha ha, yes I know some of you are still scoffing with disdain at the recent uprising of vibe coding and coding agents.

You proudly refuse to use even the slightest bit of AI in your coding.

Even basic Copilot code completions from 2021 are a no-no for you.

Well hate to break it to you but the world is leaving people like this behind.

There's no going back — AI-first development is fast becoming the gold standard.

What matters most now is not clean or clear code — what matters is clear intent, goals, and context for the AI agent.

Not descriptive variable names — but now descriptive well-written prompts.

No longer just using the DRY principle in your code — but now also…

ChatGPT is a superpower if you know how to use it correctly.
